My Classroom is a Time Machine
The NCSBA encourages students to draw a picture of themselves in the future, achieving their dreams and making a positive impact on the world, thanks to their education. This contest is open to member elementary schools and students are invited to submit a poster for this 2024 Elementary Poster Contest. There are two submission categories: kindergarten through second grade (K-2) and third through fifth grade (3-5).
Eligibility
The contest is open to NCSBA member district elementary schools. NCSBA is the professional organization that represents 116 local boards of education in North Carolina. It is a member-driven association that supports the school governance team – school board members, superintendents, senior administrative staff, and board assistants – in its complex leadership role. The association helps develop, communicate, and advocate for the perspective of North Carolina school districts.
Submission Information
All entries must be submitted online. Do not mail drawings as they will not be entered into the contest or returned. Each school can enter one drawing per grade level. We recommend hosting your own contest first. Below are some tips for uploading student artwork.
- Use a high-resolution camera. Many cell phones have the capability of taking sufficient pictures.
- Be sure the artwork is well lit. Try to minimize glare by using indirect light sources.
- Take the photo as straight on as possible to prevent distortion. Check to make sure the image is clear and not blurry.
Media Permission Form
Students that place or earn honorable mention will have their artwork and name, grade level, school, and school district posted on NCSBA’s website and social media sites. Be sure to obtain appropriate permission according to your district’s board policies and procedures prior to entering a submission.
Awards
The top drawings from each submission category, as determined by the judges, will be displayed during the 2024 NCSBA Annual Conference. Each category will have a first, second, and third-place winner.
Submission Deadline
Contest opens July 1, 2024. Drawings must be submitted online no later than October 3, 2024 at 5:00 p.m.
Judging
Drawings will be judged on how well they address the topic, the quality of work, and the creativity of the design.
